Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing

@ghdprentice   +1 ON HIS BS OF EXPECTING TO HATE THEM

@ricevs 

+1 on your comment about which Peachtree amp

My own extensive experience with my Voyager GaN 350 (said to be the same as the Peachtree) is that is chameleon-like: a change of vibration control devices (the OEMS suck the life out of the leading edge, overall softening the sound), changing power cords or interconnects, or anything in the chain is readily heard. Another huge factor is whether the music is being played at the PROPER volume

A couple years ago Ric came out with his EVS 1200, based on the same IcePower modules that PS Audio eventually came out with using the same modules in their M1200s 9but at ~ 3Xs the price). Ric made a lot of improvements to the modules, though some issues could not be addressed. I raved about it in a AG thread that had many hundreds of followers, that is until my LSA Voyager 350 GaN amp arrived (about a year later). IMHO, from the first note, there was simply no comparison. Ric mods stock Voyagers, which may be the best audio bang for the buck going

@pstores

While I agree with many of your points, consider that ALL aftermarket improvements to engines/suspensions... happened because of DIYers who had the intellect to see the shortcomings in the OEM design and the ability to improve on them, as opposed to starting from scratch. Many eventually became OEM over time

Really nice

Would love to hear it

My reply today is for anyone who may not be totally impressed with Ralph's GaN amps. I don't have them, but I do own a GaN amp (MSRP $3000) for about a year. I have been powering it with a Chinese counterfeit Odin 2 PC and connected from my dac/pre with a Odin 2 XLR. My transport is a Audiolab 6000 (IMO, it is a much better trans than some say, and likely because of their cable choices) with a fake Odin Gold PC. For a couple months I have been thinking about switching them, which I finally did last night. WOW! Today I am ordering another Odin Gold

hth

I ordered a 2m Odin Gold from DIY HiFi for $62!!! Why bother Ralph when you can hear it for yourself?

I listened to a Part-Time Audiophile podcast this morning featuring the brains behind MYTEK, discussing digital amps, specifically GaN tech and that they have introduced their own monoblocks.  I think you'll all enjoy it
